I want to buy a wok, can you help me pick one?

I've been doing without a wok fairly well, but I think it is time to go ahead and take the plunge. I've seen other posts that say 14 inches is as small as I should really go. I want something easy to clean. I have gas stove and the burner gives off lots of flame. I would like it to last, I'd like it to be fairly maintenance free, and I want it to cook well. Any thoughts?
